Iron and Steel
Increase Supply Chain Resilience with CDOT Code Across the Entire Chain
Iron and steel processing and transportation require item-level end-to-end traceability to ensure quality, efficiency, compliance, and customer satisfaction. CDOT codes achieves impeccable read rates from semi-finished billets during extremely high-temperature hot rolling stages.
Subsequently, during the cooling phases, the CDOT digital identifier (ID) endures, maintaining its identity with >99% read rate, even in the face of challenges such as oxide formation (scaling).
